commit 262e6ae7081df304fc625cf368d5c2cbba2bb991 upstream.

If a TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE exports symbol, inherit the taint flag
for all modules importing these symbols, and don't allow loading
symbols from TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE modules if the module previously
imported gplonly symbols.  Add a anti-circumvention devices so people
don't accidentally get themselves into trouble this way.

  "Ah, the proven-to-be-illegal "GPL Condom" defense :)"

<title>include/linux/module.h: copy __init/__exit attrs to init/cleanup_module</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9468870f7cbdb4d7ca828d02d4ff507c01fe591d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a6e60d84989fa0e91db7f236eda40453b0e44afa upstream.

The upcoming GCC 9 release extends the -Wmissing-attributes warnings
(enabled by -Wall) to C and aliases: it warns when particular function
attributes are missing in the aliases but not in their target.

In particular, it triggers for all the init/cleanup_module
aliases in the kernel (defined by the module_init/exit macros),
ending up being very noisy.

These aliases point to the __init/__exit functions of a module,
which are defined as __cold (among other attributes). However,
the aliases themselves do not have the __cold attribute.

Since the compiler behaves differently when compiling a __cold
function as well as when compiling paths leading to calls
to __cold functions, the warning is trying to point out
the possibly-forgotten attribute in the alias.

In order to keep the warning enabled, we decided to silence
this case. Ideally, we would mark the aliases directly
as __init/__exit. However, there are currently around 132 modules
in the kernel which are missing __init/__exit in their init/cleanup
functions (either because they are missing, or for other reasons,
e.g. the functions being called from somewhere else); and
a section mismatch is a hard error.

A conservative alternative was to mark the aliases as __cold only.
However, since we would like to eventually enforce __init/__exit
to be always marked,  we chose to use the new __copy function
attribute (introduced by GCC 9 as well to deal with this).
With it, we copy the attributes used by the target functions
into the aliases. This way, functions that were not marked
as __init/__exit won't have their aliases marked either,
and therefore there won't be a section mismatch.

Note that the warning would go away marking either the extern
declaration, the definition, or both. However, we only mark
the definition of the alias, since we do not want callers
(which only see the declaration) to be compiled as if the function
was __cold (and therefore the paths leading to those calls
would be assumed to be unlikely).

<content type='text'>
commit e9666d10a5677a494260d60d1fa0b73cc7646eb3 upstream.

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) &amp;&amp; defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

<title>tracepoint: Fix tracepoint array element size mismatch</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9c0be3f6b5d776dfe3ed249862c244a4486414dc</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 46e0c9be206f ("kernel: tracepoints: add support for relative
references") changes the layout of the __tracepoint_ptrs section on
architectures supporting relative references. However, it does so
without turning struct tracepoint * const into const int elsewhere in
the tracepoint code, which has the following side-effect:

Setting mod-&gt;num_tracepoints is done in by module.c:

    mod-&gt;tracepoints_ptrs = section_objs(info, "__tracepoints_ptrs",
                                         sizeof(*mod-&gt;tracepoints_ptrs),
                                         &amp;mod-&gt;num_tracepoints);

Basically, since sizeof(*mod-&gt;tracepoints_ptrs) is a pointer size
(rather than sizeof(int)), num_tracepoints is erroneously set to half the
size it should be on 64-bit arch. So a module with an odd number of
tracepoints misses the last tracepoint due to effect of integer
division.

So in the module going notifier:

        for_each_tracepoint_range(mod-&gt;tracepoints_ptrs,
                mod-&gt;tracepoints_ptrs + mod-&gt;num_tracepoints,
                tp_module_going_check_quiescent, NULL);

the expression (mod-&gt;tracepoints_ptrs + mod-&gt;num_tracepoints) actually
evaluates to something within the bounds of the array, but miss the
last tracepoint if the number of tracepoints is odd on 64-bit arch.

Fix this by introducing a new typedef: tracepoint_ptr_t, which
is either "const int" on architectures that have PREL32 relocations,
or "struct tracepoint * const" on architectures that does not have
this feature.

Also provide a new tracepoint_ptr_defer() static inline to
encapsulate deferencing this type rather than duplicate code and
ugly idefs within the for_each_tracepoint_range() implementation.

This issue appears in 4.19-rc kernels, and should ideally be fixed
before the end of the rc cycle.
